A Daytona Beach doughnut shop bookkeeper going to the bank to make a deposit was robbed of more than $40,000 in the parking lot, a police incident report shows.

The 62-year-old bookkeeper for Krispy Kreme at 980 W. International Speedway Blvd. was taking the money at nearly the same time as she did every day, police said.

The robbery occurred in the parking lot of the Krispy Kreme at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday.

According to police, the woman walked to her van parked in the business parking lot carrying a gray zippered Bank of America bag containing $26,863.43 in checks and $13,225.19 in cash, police said.

The bookkeeper opened the driver's side of the van and placed the money bag on the passenger's seat. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a man wearing a white hockey-type mask reached over the bookkeeper and grabbed the money bag, police said.

The woman was not injured but was scared and could not give much of a description of the suspect to police, the report states.
